Title’s been outdated for a while now. It’s 5+ years

Is this the love child of Will Ferrell and Ron Perlman?

Poor people don’t bribe the politicians making these decisions, so it’s not in the best interest of the politicians.

If every man, woman, and child would just donate a humble $90,000+ we’d have this debt paid off in no time

My ADHD makes it so I can’t read books for shit anymore, even though I would go through several every week as a kid. For anyone else having this problem, one thing that sometimes helps me is to listen to someone read the text while reading along. This could be an audiobook, but there’s also an extension for Firefox called “Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader” to get through pdf files.

With CS/IT, there have been tens of thousands of layoffs every month (in the US alone) for nearly 3 years straight. Too few jobs with everyone having to compete with new grads and all of those hit by layoffs equals a shit situation all around. I’m hoping to pivot into something like bioinformatics which, for the moment, still looks potentially promising as a job prospect.

Certainly not going all the way to PHD, but I might have the opportunity to go for Master’s on a grant that waives tuition. Not sure what else to do right now since graduating with a CS degree in this tech market has been a dumpster fire…

As someone who might be going to grad school soon to wait out this bullshit job market…ouch

That’s a catch-22 because the moment we invest in your non-investments, that will also cause it

If you earned $10,000 per hour, every hour of every day since the birth of little baby jebus, you still would not have as much money as Musk did at the start of this year BEFORE he got even more tax breaks and subsidies from the government.

Tax the fuckers

Rip and knit until it is done

Not-so-long pig, from the sound of things

That’s not petty, that’s just being smart

“What are you looking at, smoothskin?”

This method has gotten a bit further than I was, but hit a snag on the OS installation. Could I ask what iso version(s) you used?

Unfortunately I also need SwiftUI, which seems to only want to run in Xcode on a Mac. Virtual machines appear to be the only workaround for it that I’ve seen.

I forget where I heard the idea from, but I remember someone coming up with a similar idea, just way more sinister. Basically you get a bunch of these really cheap, battery operated speakers like they mention in the comic, but you put sounds on them like creepy children laughing or ghostly noises that are juuuuust loud enough to hear. Set them to have very long timers at random intervals, and scatter them inside someone’s air vents

Op is clearly not from the US midwest. All of the predictions are mental illness here

I’ve been convinced that scripts for several big budget films over the last few years have already been written by LLMs. Scripts for things like The Marvels and the last 2 Mission Impossible films (just the first couple that immediately come to mind) are stream-of-consciousness slop with inconsistent logic, jargon that makes no god damn sense, side characters and tangents that come out of nowhere and do nothing, and really forced 'member berries, because as Jay from RLM puts it; “nostalgia is the new cocaine!”
